“Akaal: The Unconquered,” which is set to release on April 10, is situated in the 1840s Punjab, narrating a tale of honor and tenacity, centering on Sardar Akaal Singh and his village as they confront a retaliatory assault led by Jangi Jahan and his troops following the demise of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh.
The film features Gurpreet Ghuggi and Nimrat Khaira in supporting roles.
Born in Ludhiana, Punjab, Gippy made his acting debut in the 2010 film Mel Karade Rabba, later starring in Carry On Jatta, Lucky Di Unlucky Story, Bhaji in Problem, and Jatt James Bond. He co-owns production companies Humble Motion Pictures and Big Daddy Films with his brother Sippy Grewal.
